Acclaimed historian, Allan Lichtman, holds the impressive track record of correctly guessing the outcomes of 9 out of the past 10 presidential elections. This time, he has come forward with another speculation for the 2024 elections.
However, Lichtman’s prediction might raise eyebrows among the supporters of strength and performance-based leadership. He has picked Vice President Kamala Harris as the potential trophy holder of the presidential race this year.
In what seems to be a surprising assumption, Lichtman publicized this prediction through a video, which was initially reported by The New York Times. He based his guesswork on seemingly mysterious factors – thirteen keys or ‘big picture true-false questions’ that are assumed to evaluate the leadership prowess of the White House Party.
Unsurprisingly, the real-time 2024 Election Poll suggests a completely different narrative than Lichtman’s. Election polls reveal that former president Donald Trump maintains a significant leadership position in Georgia, while North Carolina teeters on the edge of an extremely close contest.
The eve of a critical debate demonstrated a striking scenery – Kamala Harris inching closer to a lead previously commanded by the invincible Trump in two crucial southern battleground states.
However, according to Florida Atlantic University-Mainstreet Research poll in North Carolina, Trump maintained a lead of 1 percentage point, which is a 48% lead amongst likely voters. An almost identical outcome as was seen four years ago when Trump himself triumphed by a slim 1.34 points.
Favorably, the former president still outperforms Vice President Kamala Harris among white college-educated voters. Meanwhile, his dominance surges to a notable 30 points higher among white voters who do not have a college degree.
In Georgia, a similar landscape was seen. Trump still leads with 47% against Kamala’s 45% amongst likely voters. The former president displayed his political dominance more prominently among the age group of 50 and above.
Meanwhile, Harris has seemingly managed to gain some traction among the younger demographic group of 18 to 49. Despite the modest gain, overall Trump still maintains a lead.
Simultaneously, NYU has found itself in the limelight as it has recently welcomed a bright new student into its diverse body – Barron Trump, the only child of Donald and Melania Trump.
Young Barron Trump has chosen NYU for the start of his college life and recently graced the Manhattan campus on Wednesday, Sept. 4, to kickstart the fall semester.
Reportedly, the 18-year-old was seen surrounded by the Secret Service, carrying a black backpack, and donning a classic white polo shirt, as stated by the New York Post.
This choice of college by Barron, fresh off his graduation from Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, in May 2024, ends months of speculation.
Presently, the son of the former President and First Lady has been maintaining a low profile. However, throughout the summer, his vigilant father had been giving slight hints about Barron’s future educational plans.
